The Incredible Hulk #402

In "The Forest For the Trees," the Hulk steps into a new role as leader of the Pantheon, taking his first mission deep into the Amazon rainforest—where danger isn't just in the shadows, but in the form of a rival strongman who matches his strength. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Jan Duursema, with inks by Tom Wegrzyn and colors by Steve Buccellato, this 1993 issue delivers a tense, character-driven adventure grounded in raw physical stakes and unexpected challenges. The cover by Gary Frank and Mark Farmer captures the moment with striking intensity.
